Form Fields
The following form fields are available for use:
friends_status
<input type="text" name="friends_status" value="is " />
The 'friends_status' form field collects the status the member wants submitted to their profile.
friends_status_private
<input type="checkbox" name="friends_status_private" id="friends_status_private" value="y" />
The 'friends_status_private' form field allows the user to control whether their status update is public or only available to their friends for viewing. Checking the checkbox with a value of "y" will make the status update available only to reciprocal friends.

<h3>Submit a new Status:</h3>

<p>{friends_screen_name} <input type="text" name="friends_status" value="is " /> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Add" /><br />
<input type="checkbox" name="friends_status_private" id="friends_status_private" value="y" /> <label for="friends_status_private">Show Only to Friends?</label></p>
